Hey guys,Sorry if this has been asked a million times before, but i couldn't find what i'm looking for...and i hope this is the right forum to post this in.

So i made my upload size limit bigger in my php.ini file, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the joomla media manager...I still can't upload any vids over 2 mgs ? My Joomla install is in: myroot/joomla and my php.ini file is in: myroot. Should it be in the Joomla root instead?

I have also changed the upload size limit in the Joomla Global Configuration as well as included all the right extensions i want to upload. I am running Joomla 1.5.3

Also check on the Joomla backend php info and see which php.ini file it is referencing and its location. Local installs frequently have more then one php.ini but Joomla may be referencing a different one then you changed. Also, did you restart apache after the change?

Hey guys, thx for your replies! I was able to figure it out after talking to my host thought

humvee: I wasn't getting any errors, it would just upload the file, finish, refresh the browser and the file wasn't there. I think i wasn't getting any errors because i'm using the flash uploader. When i tried using the HTML one, i did get an error, but i don't remember which one

dhuelsmann I am not using a local install, my test site is located on my hosting account at HostMonster.com. But i have a question for you, when you say "check on the Joomla backend php info and see which php.ini file it is referencing and its location", where or how do i check this?

Doesn't much matter if you are not in a local installbackend -> help -> system info -> php information -> 6th item down -> Configuration File (php.ini) Path

The following is a piece I wrote for the 1.0 Help Screens and covers the settings that may need adjusting.

There is usually an upper limit to the size of image files that can be uploaded through the Media Manager. This upper limit is indicated by, for example, "[Max = 8M]", which indicates that files bigger than 8 megabytes cannot be uploaded. This limit is set in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) and may differ between web servers and web hosts. The limit cannot be altered from within Joomla! Some hosting companies do not allow the limit to be altered at all!

sometimes is not the max filesize the problem when using media manager.I found out, that the number of files in a folder is a second limitation.Loading up a couple of icons shows me that problem. There is a limitationnear about 200 - 256 files in a folder. If this limit is reached, media manager cannot longer show the folder, neitherin detailed or thumbnail format.Deleting a few files outside of Joomla (up to 1.5.7) with any filemanager, sothat the max number comes under the limit of 200 - 256 files (sometimesdifferent), media manager can show everything again.

What is your file size set to in global configuration system tab? Try changing it to 0 and see if it helps.

and see what are the limits for local and master values. OR, try contacting your host, they are the right persons to speak with regarding this issue, as this is more to a hosting problem than to joomla.

Anyway, a while back when I had this issue, I spoke with my hosting and they suggested me to go tophp config from cpanel and change to php5 (single php.ini), it solved my problem. But you should backup your files and database first, as it was advised by my host.

I' solved the problem of "file upload limit" . Chnage the size in php.ini file as well as in root folder u will get cache folder there are some files where u can change the limit of file upload.That files are:cache\joomfish-en-GB\90366616d57f9f6d9b8857ebc171b906.php cache\joomfish-hn-IN\3ac9e47dc324550924a1bdc3d3a2bf32.php cache\joomfish-mr-IN\1809dd54be9ee9628cf2a7e729a2e56d.php cache\joomfish-mr-IN\5367c7f6e9f2dbcb7e043f53905eb6b4.php

In these files set the maxfilesize as per requirement.I hope this will help u.

And what was the result? I could´t make a session in my web site(for go to the download site, you have to be login)!! Always when I was trying to make session, the web page refresh itself and nothing. I though, it was Joomla! you klein!! but not, i couldn´t even enter to phpmyadmin!! WT#?!

That´s mean, I have to set it back the Php file. Ok, I did it! But I need to make the system able to upload bigger files, so I tryit again!

Error again! damn! FastCGI? What is that! I mean I know what it is, but why now? I already test it under another Pc with APache and all works great!!(with 2G configuration)Ok I search for a solution, and I "found it"!

With my sample template I do not know where to get the php.ini but I as well have a 2MB upload limit and I need 8mb for a template that I purchased from Ice Theme. I am using godaddy with Jmmola hosting

uploaded any pdf file there is ok, but when upload pdf with many image file i cant.. joomla give above error.. how i'll solve this? i have see php.ini, my upload max file and post max file is greater than my pdf file. so i think there is no problem with uploaded size... i only update the website as an administrator.. how can i reach the file php.ini or re-install back without disturbing existing website..
